When the mother of artist Annie Graham (Toni Collette) dies, her grief-stricken family find they have a sinister inheritance.

Director Ari Aster’s debut feature is a creepy contemplation of family dysfunction and grief.

‘Hereditary is a terrifically unsettling look at the howling despair of grief, combined with that good, old-fashioned fear of what demons we may have inherited from our parents.’ – Vanity Fair
